Looking for great BBQ on a road trip and found this place. It's quite a distance from the highway but worth the drive. Walked in for a late lunch and was given the last plate of ribs. When the food was gone they closed. Great tasting ribs, beans and potato salad. Steal kabobs were good too. Plenty of food for... More

Family owned and operated feels like going to your brother's house for dinner. Well, if your brother lived in a little quaint shack LOL. To do any upgrades would require such significant permitting (they are grandfathered in) that the cost would surely be passed on in the food. As it is, quality food at a reasonable price! Ribs are great... More

These guys have the best ribs around. They are only open for lunch except on the weekends and have limited seating. You can call in a take out order if you choose. They have limited sides but they are all excellent. They also have daily specials and they are always excellent. It is family owned and operated and you will... More

Coming back from a trip to Green Swamp I saw this little place by accident. My first thought was it looked like a run down building that was closed but there were too many cars and trucks around it. Being the adventurist type I and a friend decided to check it out. We walked around back cause we were not... More

The potato salad was great, very creamy, the ribs were meaty just a tad dry but the sauce was very good. I had the ribeye that came with bake potato & salad. The steak was awesome,... More

I have come to this place at least twice a year with our motorcycle group - Florida Independent Harley Owners, since 2004. One of the best moves I have ever made, it is so nice to still see a family run businesses, who takes care of their patrons. This is what BBQ is suppose to be like and some of... More
